Dengue NS1 & Malaria Antigen (Vivax & Falciparum) Detection test near me in Gurgaon









Available with Tata 1 mg labs in Gurgaon at an affordable price, the Dengue NS1 & Malaria Antigen (Vivax & Falciparum) Detection test helps diagnose Dengue and Malaria infections early. The Dengue NS1 test detects the NS1 antigen in the blood during the initial days of infection, allowing prompt intervention. The Malaria Antigen test identifies the presence of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum parasites, which cause Malaria. Both tests help ensure timely treatment and reduce the risk of severe complications.
The Dengue NS1 & Malaria Antigen (Vivax & Falciparum) Detection test is recommended when symptoms of Dengue or Malaria are present, especially in areas where these diseases are common. The common symptoms of these illnesses include high grade fever, chills, headache, body aches, joint pain, fatigue , nausea etc. It is also advised if you have traveled to or live in regions with outbreaks of Dengue or Malaria. Additional investigations may be needed if you test negative yet show symptoms.
No special preparation is required for the Dengue NS1 & Malaria Antigen (Vivax & Falciparum) Detection test; eat and drink as per your daily routine.








What does Dengue NS1 & Malaria Antigen (Vivax & Falciparum) Detection test measure?
Contains 2 testsThe Dengue NS1 and Malaria Antigen (Vivax & Falciparum) Detection test is tailored to diagnose and differentiate between Dengue and Malaria infections. The Dengue NS1 antigen test specifically detects the presence of the Dengue virus’s nonstructural protein (NS1) in the blood. This protein is released into the bloodstream during the early phase of dengue fever, making it useful for identifying the disease within the first few days of onset.
On the other hand, the Malaria Antigen (Vivax & Falciparum) Detection test identifies the presence of malaria antigens in the blood, specifically targeting the Plasmodium species responsible for malaria. The test distinguishes between Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum, the two most common types of malarial parasites. By detecting these antigens, the test provides accurate diagnosis, helping in the appropriate management and treatment of malaria.
Together, these tests are crucial in areas where both dengue fever and malaria are endemic, as they enable doctors to quickly and accurately determine the cause of an individual’s symptoms and initiate the appropriate treatment.
The Dengue Fever NS1 Antigen measures the NS-1 protein of the dengue virus. This protein is secreted into the blood during the infection. Hence, it can be detected during the early stages of the illness. It is recommended to do the Dengue Fever NS1 Antigen in the first 7 days of fever. After 7-10 days of continuous fever, the recommended test is dengue fever antibodies IgG & IgM.
Dengue fever may progress to dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome if left untreated. Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) includes variable manifestations like bleeding, vomiting blood, passing blood in the stool, difficulty breathing, and cold, clammy skin, especially in the extremities. If progressed, the virus may attack blood vessels, causing capillaries to leak fluid into the space around the lungs (pleural effusion) or the abdominal cavity (ascites).
Dengue shock syndrome (DSS) is a severe complication of dengue fever caused when the body's immune system overreacts to the dengue virus. It can lead to a sudden drop in blood pressure and dehydration. If not managed in a timely manner, it may lead to multiple organ failures.

A Malarial Antigen (Vivax & Falciparum) Detection test measures the presence of specific antigens (proteins) produced by Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum parasites. These antigens are released into the blood during the lifecycle of the parasites and serve as a marker for the presence of malaria infection. A Malarial Antigen (Vivax & Falciparum) Detection test targets and identifies these antigens, providing a means of detecting and differentiating between these two common types of malaria parasites.
The Malarial Antigen (Vivax & Falciparum) Detection test is a qualitative rapid immunochromatographic test for the detection of Malarial antigens.
